Common descriptors are
Samichlaus is brewed once a year on December 6 and is aged for 10 months in steel tanks and 5 weeks in oak barrels from winery Anton Bauer in Feuersbrunn. This special lager is perhaps the rarest in the world. Samichlaus may be aged in the bottle for many years, older vintages become more complex with a creamy, warm finish. This beer can be served with hardy robust dishes and desserts, particularly with chocolates or as an after dinner drink by itself.
